Outdoor photo against a green, rocky hillside under a pale sky. In the foreground, a smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead wears an orange saffron wrap over bare shoulders. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe with a red bindi raises one arm, holding a dark cord or strap overhead. Both appear to be ascetics dressed in saffron, with no clear visual cue establishing either as a person.
